I assume you did not use a condom?
If an unprotected penis was inside your anus, with or without semen, you still had a risk. We do not get involved with decisions to take PEP or not. That is a decision best made by you and your doctor.

thanks for your answer.. guess ill go to the hospital now before the 72 hours closing.
just for knowldage, assueming he is an hiv infected... how possible it to catch hiv from few drops? is it equal to full load? thanks

Even the highest risk is less than 1% chance of infection per act. There is no point in focusing on how many drops of semen there were - it is not possible for scientists to study how many "drops" are more dangerous. If you only had anal sex for a few seconds, your odds of getting HIV are extremely low.
yeah few seconds but in these few seconds he had little drops and some for sure got inside me. worst 20 seconds of my life i guess..
HIV is generally transmitted via vigorous rubbing that occurs during intercourse. It isn't transmitted by a few drops falling into your anus. You are blowing this event WAY out of proportion. WAY.
ok thanks. to make things even more complicated : i noticed for the last days before it i got pain of Hemorrhoids, and little blood if, really little, if i swipte too hard. is it make the risk higer? also , thank you for the all information . hiv is very scary issue, and to hear that it not that easy to get it and im stressed and over reacting making me feel so so so much better.
I am not going to continue to go over every little thing that you think of. Do whatever will make you feel more at ease.
"worst 20 seconds of my life i guess.."
Nope, it was a non-event so you can do that anytime and not have ANY risk or "complications" to worry about.

Hey ANxiousnomore, so you want to tell me that despite he had pre-cum and for sure it happened during he was inside me i dont have any risk? im safe? despite Hemorrhoids? sorry for all the questions, it seems you have greater knowladge than me
It seems that AnxiousNoMore misread your post and didn't realize that you had unprotected anal. This forum has offered all of the advice possible at this point, so we are closing this thread. If you wish to report on testing and results, you may do so when that information is available.
